I''m 37, 5'10, 155lbs. At my worst I was I was 280lbsIt's not the first time I've gained and lost weight. I've consulted with about 5 different surgeons, and no one ever mentioned my needing a fleur de lis 360 procedure until the final consult, with the surgeon I like the most. He only said that my result would be 20-30% better, but it's my choice. Does it really look like it would make that much of an improvement given the extra scar?
Answer: Belt Lift will be good option "The degree of sagging skin above the belly button is not extreme, and your chest condition appears to be satisfactory. Therefore, I do not recommend the Fleur-de-Lis technique, as it would result in a significant scar. Instead, a belt lift would be a more suitable option, as it allows for better scar concealment while achieving a smoother, tighter, and more contoured result."

Answer: Fleur de lis? Of course, a fleur-de-lis with circumferential body lift will provide maximum 360 skin tightening if desired. Having said that, I would think a standard type of tummy tuck skin resection will provide an excellent result. In fact, it looks like the majority of your laxity is in the mons pubis/lower tummy area so a mini-tuck may do the trick depending on your expectations. Having said that, an umbilical transposition can help but you always run the risk of a vertical scar in the lower tummy if the umbilical hole does not reach your lower transverse scar. Additionally, your muscles look tight and flat, so a traditional tummy tuck with muscle tightening can be over-treatment with all of the risk and downtime. A lower tummy skin resection +/- umbilical transposition can be done with local and minimal sedation with no drains, minimal downtime and no drains. Something to consider. Thank you for sharing.

Answer: Fleur-de-lis a fleur-de-lis abdominoplasty is a form of tummy tuck in which a standard tummy tuck incision is made hidden below the bikini or underwear line and then a vertical incision was made from the upper abdomen all the way down to the lower abdomen. This is usually reserve reserved for people that have undergone massive weight loss. I always try to put myself in the position of my patience and ask myself what I would rather have: in this case the question would be a slightly tighter abdomen but a very visible scar or a mild degree of skin laxity, but in essentially invisible scar. Looking at your pictures, I would choose for myself the ladder. I do not believe that the additional degree of skin tightening that could be obtained warrants the addition of that very visible vertical scar.

Answer: Full tummy tuck Thanks for your question! I don't think its necessary. You will get a very nice result from a full tummy tuck with liposuction to the posterior hips. Good luck!
